i keep going to click on a bigger image to show you all my progress.. and this BIRD!! Then, I stop because I’m really just not ready to yet.. I’m running out of pictures - that almost never happens.. And the process of settling into holding it to myself for a little longer is this weird juicy discomfort of selfishness.. and I think it’s okay.. sometimes it is alright to hold something solely for yourself because it’s what you need or want. I’ve always felt like selfishness is “bad”.. for the right reasons I think it’s actually pretty okay. It isn’t necessary to share everything all the time.. sometimes that takes all the spark out of something.. and when you finally let whatever it is out it’s more on your own terms which is how things should be..
but revel in it with me and just look at how the piecing is coming together.. The textures of the fabrics laying with each other.. the way the feathers have developed is more than I imagined. I am completely enraptured with this Wild Turkey.
Feeling so thankful that I listened to that voice in my head that “knew” to get ::Almost Heaven:: out of my system before starting this so it could have all of me.
